■ng the title would ever need be
ncurred. It is risky business for
vou when you are putting your
life savings into the purchase.
These are a few of the reasons
why a title examination is an im-
portant safeguard to you. When
it is completed, the attorney gives
you a written opinion stating his
conclusions as to who owns the
land, the defects in or charges
against such ownership, and the
requirements to be met if any,
to make good record title.
May be simple
Off-hand this may seem a simple
operation. In fact it is not. It
requires the interpreta'ion of
numerous deeds, mortgages, wills,
court decrees and other ins'ru-
nents; the consideration of the
order in which transactions and
"vents affecting the title occurr-
ed; and the application of statu-
var-
the
accept.
A “warranty deed” from a re-
sponsible seller is comforting to
have but it is a poor substitute
for a careful title examination. A
warranty deed does not guarantee
a marketable title.
Serious defects
Moreover, serious title defects
may not come to light until long
after the seller on a warranty
deed is dead, has moved to an
unknown address, or is bankrupt.
Even if he is available a good
title is much better than a law
suit.
The fact that the seller has pos-
ession of on “abstract” does not
mean that he owns the property.
\n abstract is only a history of a
title. Possession of an abstract
no more indicates ownership of
'and than possession of the his-
ory of Texas means that you own
'he state.
Some purchasers of land feel
afe because the title is being ex-
min d at the time of purchase by
n attorney for lhe mortgage len-
'ers. This se-’ms logical but is
i dangerous th’ory. Mortgage
’enders are sometimes willing to
accept less than good record title
as security. This is sound bus-
iness for them because, among
ather reasons, the chances are
hat the mortgage will be paid
iff so that no expense in perfect

Thinking of 'buying a

school starts? How will you
now whether you are receiving
a good title to the property you
purchase? The safest method is
‘o have a title examination made
—that is, a careful study of the
abstract and other title evidence.
Here are a few of the common
ources of trouble in real estate
transactions to show why the
mnor expense of a title examin-
ation is justified.
Many persons sign “earnest
money contracts” believing that
they are mere receipts with no
serious implications. In realty

method and sight method. Chil-
dren have learned to read under
each of these methods, and chil-
dren have failed to learn how to
read under all of these methods.
“Some people have the mistak-
en belief,” Lindsey said, “that six
year olds should read at once in
school. Tffe fact is that some
of them have backgrounds at home
and through travel that have ad-
vanced them in their ability to
read, while others have not had
these advantages. The modern

[the writer.
“3—Making use of meanings
1 gained through reading.”
| Continuing. Lindsey told
i Lions that children must:
“1—Have the necessary funda-
[ mental reading skills to figure
out words independently.
“2—Develop the ability to work
with books for study purposes.
“3—Find out the fun that can
[ be had from reading good books,
■ prose or poetry.
“4—Be able to do critical think-
ing.
All children different
“All children of a typical first
! grade room are different, physi-
cally and in every way they can
be measured. Until he enters
i school, a child knows nothing of
language except what he receives
through the spoken word. He
comes to know words and how to
build meanings from tone em- [
: phasis.
“The teacher’s job is to develon |
that child to realize that printed
words is printed talk. She can-
not force some children for fear
of causing them to fail. She
tries to help children in their
transition from the spoken word
to the printed word.
“When the formal reading be-
gins we introduce the words to
the child by sight method, but
as soon as two or three words
that begin with the same letter
we teach the sound that that let-
ter has at the beginning of the
[ words. We provide the children
with four learning tools: Phonetic
analysis, structural analysis, use
of the context and use of the
dictionary.”
Guests were Coach Dick Todd
and John Towers of Midwestern
U. C. W. Settle of Dallas and
Rowland R. Peters.
